Rock

⚠️The project is at a very early stage, lots of things will not work.

JIT-compiled programming language.

Getting started

Linux

1. Copy and paste the following command in a shell:

sudo sh -c 'curl -L https://github.com/jarkonik/rocklang/releases/latest/download/rocklang-ubuntu-latest -o /usr/local/bin/rocklang && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rocklang'

2. Create a file named main.rck in a directory of your choice, with following content:

print("Hello from rocklang")

3. While being in the same directory, that you've created the source file in, run rocklang main.rck from a shell.
4. You should see text Hello from rocklang printed in your terminal.

Windows

1. Download and run the installer.
2. Create a file named main.rck in a directory of your choice, with the following content:

print("Hello from rocklang")

3. While being in the same directory, that you've created the source file in, run rocklang main.rck from PowerShell or Command Prompt.
4. You should see text Hello from rocklang printed in your terminal.

MacOS

1. Copy and paste the following command in a shell:

sudo sh -c 'curl -L https://github.com/jarkonik/rocklang/releases/latest/download/rocklang-macos-latest -o /usr/local/bin/rocklang && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rocklang'

2. Create a file named main.rck in a directory of your choice, with the following content:

print("Hello from rocklang")

3. While being in the same directory, that you've created the source file in, run rocklang main.rck from a shell.
4. You should see text Hello from rocklang printed in your terminal.

Example

Sample implementation of Sieve of Eratosthenes written in Rock

mem_set = (vec: vec, val: number, n: number): vec => {
	i = 0
	while i < n {
		vec_set(vec, i, val)
		i = i + 1
	}
	vec
}

sieve = (n: number): void => {
	v = vec_new()
	prime = mem_set(v, 1, n + 1)

	p = 2

	while p * p <= n {
		if vec_get(prime, p) == 1 {
			i = p * p
			while i <= n {
				vec_set(prime, i, 0)
				i = i + p
			}
		}

		p = p + 1
	}

	p = 2

	while p <= n {
		if vec_get(prime, p) == 1 {
			print(string(p))
			print("\n")
		}

		p = p + 1
	}
}

Building from source

1. Install Rust compiler that supports Rust Edition 2021, along with cargo tool, in your favorite fashion.
2. Install llvm 13
3. Run cargo build to build binaries or cargo run examples/sieve.rck to run a sample program.
